Marcus Semien hit a two-run homer and scored
three runs. Travis Jankowski drove in two runs and Sam Huff had
three hits for the Rangers, who finished with 15 as a team.
Seager, who had not played since spraining his right thumb on
July 21, hit a two-run homer in the first inning and finished
with two hits, as did Semien, Jung and Nathaniel Lowe. The
Rangers added five runs in the second inning and the rout was
on.
Texas won its second straight after losing seven of nine.
Rangers starter Dane Dunning (9-4) cut through the White Sox
lineup for 7 2/3 innings. The right-hander allowed just one run
on three hits and a walk while striking out a season-high 11.
Right-hander Dylan Cease (4-5) didn't make it out of the second
inning for the White Sox. In 1 2/3 innings, Cease matched a
season worst by allowing seven runs in his shortest start of the
season.
After Dunning escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top half of the
first, Semien led off the bottom half of the inning with a
single for Texas and Seager followed with his 16th homer of the
season.
The Rangers' burst in the second was fueled by four hits and
three walks. Seager and Lowe each singled in one run, a third
scored on Jung's groundout and Jankowski doubled in two more.
Texas added two more in the fifth. With two out, Adolis Garcia
singled and Jung sent his 21st home run of the season over the
wall in center field to make it 9-0.
Semien's 16th blast of the season, a two-run shot, made it 11-0
in the sixth.
The White Sox avoided the shutout in the eighth when Seby Zavala
homered to left field, his seventh home run of the season.
In his Rangers debut, reliever Chris Stratton allowed one hit in
1 1/3 innings. He and starter Jordan Montgomery were acquired
from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
The White Sox have lost three straight games and nine of their
last 11.
